Liverpool recently suffered a shortage of midfielders, and before the summer transfer window closed, the team had to urgently borrow Efamilu from Juventus in order to solve the pressing problem. However, the Brazilian star has unfortunately had his own difficulties, and recently suffered a muscle strain in training. According to reliable sources, he will face surgery to cure the injury, and is expected to be out of action for three to four months.
Efamilu has been plagued with injuries in recent years and has only featured for 13 minutes in UEFA Europa League matches in the few short months since joining Liverpool. Liverpool manager Gopp recently confirmed in an interview: "We have a new injury victim, and it's Efamilu. He accidentally pulled a muscle during a normal training session and we need further tests to determine his recovery time."
According to The Athletic, Efamilu will undergo surgery to treat this injury and is expected to miss three to four months. For Liverpool, they paid Juventus a loan fee of £4 million for the loan of Efamelu and have the right to buy him out for £33 million. However, considering Efamilu's injury history, it is really worth pondering whether Liverpool should really make such a decision.
